Brake Pad Dust Deposits
Brake dust contamination, it manifests as an inorganic coating from frictional wear on vehicle components, which leads to layered deposits tenaciously adherent to metal surfaces. These particles, they embed deeply into substrates like steel or aluminum, influenced from environmental humidity and mechanical stress, that demonstrates material-specific behaviors in formation. It seems that removal challenges arise from the contamination's persistence under laser exposure, where oxides resist ablation more than softer residues, dependent from substrate roughness. The process yields effective cleaning, yet it requires precise control to avoid surface alteration.
